We make five kidswear styles: T-shirt and shorts sets, frocks, rompers, shirt sets and kids’ nightwear. Rompers cover babies from 0 to 24 months; the other four cover children from 1 year up, in cotton jersey, cotton woven or both.
Each style suits a different customer and a different moment, from everyday play to a family celebration. Here is what each one is, how it is built, and how to choose kidswear styles for own brand ranges.
Style overview
| Style | Fabric | Ages | Where it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| T-shirt and shorts set | Cotton jersey | 1 to 12 years | Everyday wear, summer, gifting |
| Frock | Cotton jersey or cotton woven | 1 to 10 years | Day wear or occasions |
| Romper | Cotton jersey | 0 to 24 months | Babywear, newborn gifts |
| Shirt set | Cotton woven | 1 to 12 years | Smart wear, family events |
| Kids’ nightwear | Cotton jersey or cotton woven | 1 to 12 years | Bedtime, gift sets |
The minimum is 100 pieces per style, and age sizes can be mixed within it.
Everyday styles
T-shirt and shorts set
A pull-on T-shirt with matching shorts, both in soft cotton jersey. The shorts take an elastic waist, so there is nothing to fasten. It is the simplest style to wear and to sell, and it carries a screen print well, which makes it the natural home for your artwork, a character or a slogan.
It suits kidswear brands building a core range, online sellers who want gift-ready sets, and anyone selling into warm seasons. Selling it as a set rather than two pieces makes it easy for parents to buy and easy to photograph. Short sleeves suit warm seasons, and you can ask about other sleeve lengths at enquiry; we confirm the details on the sample.
Romper
A one-piece garment for babies, in cotton jersey that moves with them. Rompers usually open with snaps at the shoulder or crotch, which makes changes quicker. Short-sleeved and sleeveless rompers suit warm weather; long-sleeved versions suit cooler months.
Rompers suit babywear brands and gift sellers, as they are a common newborn and first-birthday present. Because the label sits against a baby’s neck, a printed inside-neck label is a good choice. Our post on labels and tags for kidswear explains the options.
Occasion styles
Frock
A children’s dress, available in two fabrics with quite different results.
- Cotton jersey frock: soft, pull-on and easy for daily wear and play.
- Cotton woven frock: crisper fabric that holds gathers and frills, for a fuller skirt and a smarter look at family occasions and festive seasons.
Woven frocks need an opening, usually at the back, because the fabric does not stretch. Frocks are a boutique favourite and suit seasonal, occasion-led ranges. Tell us about frills, sleeves and trims, and we confirm them on the sample.
Shirt set
A collared shirt with matching shorts or trousers, in cotton woven fabric such as poplin. The woven fabric keeps the collar and placket sharp. Bottoms usually take an elastic waist for comfort and ease.
Shirt sets pair naturally with frocks in the same colour or print, so siblings can match at family events. They suit boutiques, occasion ranges and brands that want a smarter line alongside casual wear.
If you plan matching outfits, order the frock and the shirt set in the same fabric and colour from the start. Both are woven styles, so they can share a fabric, and placing them in the same order makes it easier to keep the colour consistent across the two. Tell us at enquiry that the styles should match, and we check them side by side on the samples.
Kids’ nightwear
Two-piece sets for bedtime, in either fabric.
- Cotton jersey nightwear: stretchy, cosy and relaxed. Suits short or full-length sets.
- Cotton woven nightwear: lighter and cooler, with the classic look of a pyjama set, often with piping or a contrast trim.
Nightwear is a strong gifting style, and it repeats well: parents who like one set often buy another in a new print. Labelling and safety requirements for children’s clothing, including nightwear, depend on the destination country and are confirmed at quotation. If you sell adult sleepwear too, see our pyjamas and nightwear range.
Building a range from the five styles
You do not need all five. Common starting combinations are:
- Everyday kidswear brand: T-shirt and shorts sets plus kids’ nightwear, both in jersey.
- Babywear brand: rompers in two or three colours, with nightwear added as children grow.
- Occasion boutique: woven frocks plus matching shirt sets.
- Gift seller: rompers and nightwear in gift-ready packing.
Branding works across all five: printed inside-neck label, neck label, wash-care label, hang tag, screen print or embroidery. For children’s clothing we suggest a printed or soft label over a stiff woven one.
